The performance in progress: a brightly lit room, you can see part of a Powerpoint projection, black text on white, a white table in the performance area with a light brown large teddy bear sat in a chair, his arm resting on it. The backs of the heads of the first few rows of the audience. Hannah is facing the camera, stood in the aisle speaking to some audience members, some of whom are turned around in their chairs and smiling. Hannah is wearing a black tee shirt.
A production shot: in dark and red stage lighting with a patterned projection effect in the background, Hannah is stood speaking intensely into a microphone, pointing at her head with her other hand.
Close up production shot of Hannah, a white woman with short blonde hair, in profile, facing left. She is holding a microphone, wearing a black tee shirt and lit in pink stage lighting.

Hannah Maxwell: BABYFLEAREINDEERBAG

A focus group. A pitch meeting. A show like no other. The sell-out sleeper hit of Edinburgh Fringe lands in Adelaide, clipboard and clicker at the ready.

Maxwell needs her next autobiographical theatre show to be a rampant success. She needs YOU for some intensive audience research: which of her personal traumas is most likely to get adapted by Netflix?

In an era hungry for the next smash-hit overshare, BABYFLEAREINDEERBAG kicks over the bucket of ideas Maxwell can’t yet bring herself to make a show about, interrogating the risk and cynicism in telling one’s own story onstage. 

★★★★★ "A triumph!" To Do List 

★★★★★ "Bluntly, this production is incredible" Binge Fringe

★★★★ "Funny & delightfully meta"  The Guardian

★★★★  "A delicious refusal to beg for a seat at the table" The Scotsman
